How to lodge an application with Council

Council offers several ways to lodge your development application (Building, Plumbing, Planning and Operational Works). The most convenient is by email. You can also lodge the application in person or by post.

By email

Development applications can be lodged to Council electronically.

All files should apply a ‘Plain English' naming convention such as ‘Application Forms' or ‘Proposal Plans'. You can email up to 15MB at one time. For larger applications or documents, split the attachments and emails.

All emails and attached documentation are to be sent to mail@noosa.qld.gov.au.

In person or by post

Two copies of all documents are required for hard copy applications. For Commercial Building and Plumbing Applications lodged in hard copy, four copies of all documents are needed.

You can lodge your development application in person or by post.
